1 Urdu couplets and shers with bemohabbat

bemohabbat(f): without love

Description of bemohabbat: Bemohabbat is an Urdu word meaning loveless, heartless, or devoid of affection. Unlike mohabbat , which denotes deep passion and emotional warmth, it conveys emotional detachment or cruelty. Differs from be-dil , as bemohabbat specifically implies absence of love rather than general insensitivity. In Urdu poetry, it evokes tragic lovers parted by fate, as in ghazals lamenting unrequited bonds.
